it's better to burn out, than to fade away.

it's better to burn out, than to fade away. - as quoted by Kurt Cobain.

Kurt Cobain, the lead vocalist, guitarist of the very famous band then, Nirvana. Nirvana was a band that plays the genre -grunge-, alternative rock. It's leader, Kurt Cobain, was a drug user (not abuser), heroin/morphine to be exact. Unlike others that uses such banned drugs for thrills and pleasures, Cobain's different. He uses them cos it reliefs him from a physical pain in his stomach, his "burning, nauseatic stomach", as quoted by himself.

I heard about this guy from Zhirong on Junhong's birthday celebration on Sunday. Mathew was wearing a shirt about this guy. A shirt that has the picture of Kurt Cobain's suicide note. Yes, he's dead.

Dead.

This is Kurt Cobain, whom I must say, one of the greatest singers ever,:

He died at the age of 27, around early April, around the 5th, 1994. Twenty-Seven, 27. Too young to die. It's a waste. His death? He shot himself through his mouth with a rifle/gun. Some people, including myself speculate that it wasn't a suicide, but a murder. I feel that Courtney Love, his wife, has something to do with this. Apparently when you're so high on drugs, in Cobain's case, about 1.5mg of heroin was found in 1 litre of his blood (Can you imagine how much drugs he took within that period of time!?), you do NOT have the strength, ability to even lift a rifle/gun, much less squeeze the trigger. His suicideI don't know, that's my point of view.

What make things more suspicious is that this guy, known as El Duce, died a few days after he went public about Courtney Love paying him to kill Cobain. His reason of death? He left his house with an unknown man, got drunk and got ran over by a train. Fishy.

Anyway, the point of this post isn't to start another webpage on this controversial issue. But just to clarify my own thoughts with myself. It's totally none of YOUR business. Also, although he's dead, and I knew him for like barely a day (by researching), I'm starting to admire him. I don't know in what way, cos nothing really seems to be positive on the outside - he takes drugs, smokes, cuss, got into rehab, and if I'm not wrong, probably got into trouble with law before too.

I don't know, I guess it's the feeling, or the sudden attachment sometimes one may have with a total unfamiliar individual. It's like a feeling, like I actually know Kurt Cobain, and I know exactly what he went through.

Something along that line.

Yes, and I intend to get a tattoo. hur hur hur
